Common Questions
Why use VerImage?
Understanding the difference between generating images and owning them.
Why pay for VerImage when I can use free tools like Gemini or Bing?
Free tools are fantastic for casual fun, but they often come with significant downsides for professionals and creators:
- Ambiguous Ownership: Read the fine print. Many free tools don't guarantee you own what you create, or they grant themselves a license to use your work.
- Zero Proof of Creation: If you generate a viral logo and someone steals it, you have no hard evidence you made it first. A screenshot is easily faked.
- Usage Limits: Free tiers often have restrictions on commercial usage.
VerImage is built for ownership. We timestamp your creation on the Bitcoin blockchain instantly. This acts as a "digital notary," proving mathematically that you possessed this image at a specific point in time.
What exactly is the 'Digital Receipt'?
It's not just a receipt for payment. It's a cryptographic record. When you generate an image, we take its 'digital fingerprint' (a SHA-256 hash) and write it into a transaction on the Bitcoin SV blockchain. This record is permanent, immutable, and public. You can download a 'Certificate of Origin' that links your image to this blockchain record, serving as powerful evidence of prior art.
Is this the same as an NFT?
Not exactly. NFTs are often about trading speculative assets. VerImage is about **utility and evidence**. We focus on the 'Notary' aspect of the blockchain—proving something happened—rather than creating a tradeable token (though the underlying technology is similar). You don't need a wallet or crypto knowledge to use VerImage; we handle the blockchain complexity in the background.
Does this give me legal copyright?
VerImage provides **technological evidence**, not legal advice. In many jurisdictions, copyright is granted automatically upon creation. However, enforcing that copyright requires proof. VerImage provides that proof: an un-fakeable timestamp showing you had the file before anyone else. This 'prior art' evidence can be critical in disputes.
Who is VerImage for?
Designers, Agencies, & Businesses. If you are using AI art for commercial work, client deliverables, or brand assets, you need more than just a JPEG. You need chain of custody. VerImage is for professionals who treat their outputs as intellectual property, not just disposable content.
Do I need to buy Bitcoin to use this?
No. We operate on a simple pay-as-you-go model using standard currency (or a simple wallet integration if you prefer). We pay the blockchain network fees on your behalf. You just focus on creating.
